different cultures use different fingers. I have a cousin who lives in germany and there they wear wedding bands on the right hand where we wear them on the left.

I know that some pianists wear copper rings (or bracelets or anklets) with magnetic implants to counter the effects of RSI or Arthritis...you should be able to buy them in any decent chemist...
